Lan Yu was a little embarrassed. After Elder Shi came back that day, he only told them that the Zixiao Sect had gone too far and refused to return the Eight Divine Swords of the Jishang Sect.
Later, they learned that the leader of the Zixiao Sect that day was Sun Zhong. They understood why Elder Shi said that. They asked other disciples about the situation that day and found out the whole story.
There are confused people, and naturally there are also non-confused people, and Lan Yu is one of them.
As a descendant of Elder Yashin, when the secret storage of the Supreme Sect's skills was robbed, he was told that the Yashin Sword was among the stolen skills.
Lan Yu knew that the Zixiao Sect had martial arts that were not inferior to the Eight Divine Swords, and their martial arts storage pavilion had more books than even the Jishang Sect. There was absolutely no need to do such a unnecessary thing, and there was no need to wait a hundred years for the secret to be exposed.
Therefore, there is only one possibility for Gao Han to obtain the Eight Sacred Swords.
It was just as he said, it could only have been picked up, because his ancestors would not have passed on the Ji Shang Sect's skills to the Zi Xiao Sect's people.
If the ancestor had taught him the skills before he joined Zixiao Sect, he should have mentioned Jishang Sect, and the other party would not have joined Zixiao Sect. Another reason is his age. Even if we go back to when he was just born, the ancestor had already passed away.
"Master Bai, let's not beat around the bush. I, Lan, have come here with sincerity this time." Lan Yu did not beat around the bush.
Sect Master Bai chuckled and said, "You simply believe that the Eight Divine Swords that Gao Han learned are complete. Otherwise, why would Ji Shang Sect go to such great lengths to find a copy of such a secret technique, and why would they go to such great lengths to find a copy?"
Even though his thoughts were exposed, Lan Yu remained calm. He had prepared himself mentally before coming here.
"Please help me, Sect Master Bai." Lan Yu bowed.
"If you don't have it, how can I help you to practice the eighth sword of the Eight Divine Swords?" Sect Leader Bai said sarcastically.
Lan Yu's face darkened. They had expected Zixiao Sect to deny it. "Sect Master Bai, to be honest, my ancestor had already practiced the eighth blade of the Eight Divine Swords before he left Jishang Sect."
"So what?" Sect Leader Bai said with a smile.
Lan Yu continued, "It was several decades after my ancestor left Jishang Sect, and a hundred years before the news of his death spread."
"You mean to say that during this period of time, Elder Yashin has deduced the eighth sword and made the technique complete, right?" Sect Leader Bai still had a smile on his face.
"It's possible." Lan Yu replied.
Sect Master Bai suddenly stood up and snorted, "It's just not impossible? Why don't you produce evidence to prove that before Elder Eight Gods died, the Eight Gods Sword had indeed been fully deduced. If anything can be said to be possible, can this Sect Master say that all the skills of your Ji Shang Sect were stolen from Zi Xiao Sect and ask you to return them immediately?"
Lan Yu was so embarrassed that he almost couldn't hold his face.
"Master Bai, these two are not of the same nature. The Eight Divine Swords are indeed owned by my Supreme Sect."
"Come and go, I only know this one sentence. This sect master also has only one sentence. Although the skill was picked up by Gao Han, he has clearly told this sect master that the Eight Divine Swords he picked up do not have the eighth sword."
Seeing Sect Master Bai showing an impatient expression, Lan Yu said anxiously, "Sect Master Bai, what do you want us to do in exchange for returning the eighth sword to Ji Shang Sect? Ji Shang Sect is willing to exchange it for an equal value."
Sect Leader Bai saw that they even mentioned an equal exchange, but he didn't feel sorry at all, "I also said that without the eighth sword, even if you are willing to exchange, we can't take it out."
The Jishang Sect has been the runner-up for thousands of years and has been dreaming of surpassing the Zixiao Sect for so many years. If the eighth sword of the Eight Divine Swords were really handed over to them, there would be a huge uproar.
As for whether Gao Han's Eight Divine Swords actually had an eighth sword, he didn't know, and there was no need to know, because the result would be the same.
"Master Bai, do you want to take the sword skills of the Supreme Sect for yourself?" The arrogant disciples around Lan Yu couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily.
"Shuhui!" Lan Yu's face changed.
Guo Shuhui was already extremely unhappy. He ignored Lan Yu's warning and continued, "Elder Lan, they clearly don't want to hand over the eighth knife. No matter how much we say or how humble we are, they won't agree!"
“Yes, because they are afraid that Ji Shang Sect will obtain the complete Eight Divine Swords and become stronger than Zi Xiao Sect, so they will never return the complete Eight Divine Swords to us no matter what.” Another disciple, Xu Mengwei, also agreed, gritting his teeth.
"I've always said that the people of Jishang Sect are the best at telling lies with their eyes open. They say that things picked up by others are stolen. It's obvious that the sword technique itself is not complete, but they still insist on saying it's complete. I've never seen such a drastic move. It's really shameless!"
Bai Runyue walked in from outside with big strides, and his voice had already reached everyone's ears.
As soon as the eldest senior brother came back, he went into seclusion again. She was bored and heard that someone from the Supreme Sect came to visit, so she came to take a look. She didn't expect to hear such shameless words.
"Who are you calling shameless?" Guo Shuhui said angrily.
"Apart from you who responded, is there anyone else here?" Bai Runyue looked around, "Oh, and you, my junior brother, are shameless in pairs."
"You!" Guo Shuhui took a step forward angrily.
Bai Runyue was not only not afraid, but also took the initiative to approach, smiling, "In the territory of Zixiao Sect, if you have the guts, try to use your hands. If you can walk out of Zixiao Sect standing, I will take your surname."
Guo Shuhui was extremely furious. He was a disciple of the leader of the Jishang Sect and had never suffered such a humiliation before. But what Bai Runyue said was right, he really didn't dare to do it.
"I didn't think you would dare, you useless coward." Bai Runyue continued to taunt.
Guo Shuhui's face turned green.
"Why are you here?" Sect Master Bai looked at his daughter and frowned.
"Senior Brother went into seclusion and wouldn't let me go with him. I was bored, so I came out for a walk and met two weirdos." Bai Runyue smiled and shot an arrow through the air, hitting Guo Shuhui and Xu Mengwei's heart.
The two were so angry that they were shaking all over. Just when they were about to hold back, Lan Yu stopped them and sent them a message.
"If you take action now, it will be even more impossible for us to get back the complete Eight God Swords."
"Elder Lan, you still have hope that they can give it to us. I don't think Zixiao Sect intends to return it to us." Guo Shuhui said angrily.
"That's right. Instead of staying here and being humiliated by him, it's better to leave now." Xu Mengwei also said.
"What happens after you leave?" Lan Yu asked indifferently.
"We'll have to find another way to get the complete Eight Sacred Swords," said Guo Shuhui.
"This is our last resort. Our biggest enemy is the demon. It's not the time for Ji Shang Sect and Zi Xiao Sect to fall out yet." Lan Yu shook his head, asked the two to step back, and stepped forward.
"Master Bai, please forgive me for my behavior just now. In order to show the sincerity of Jishang Sect, Jishang Sect is willing to exchange a corpse of a fusion stage demon beast, 30 million top-grade spirit stones, spirit medicines such as the Rebirth Flower, Lingzhi Ganoderma, Jade Head Multiflori, as well as 1,000-year-old cold iron, five-element spirit stones, stone eggs, etc."
"What a grand move from the Jishang Sect." Bai Runyue said with a smile.
Guo Shuhui snorted coldly, but said nothing.
If it was an ordinary disciple, he could still mock him as a guy who had never seen the world, but Bai Runyue was the daughter of the sect master. She had been going in and out of the treasure house of Zixiao Sect since she was a child, and she had seen all kinds of treasures.
If he really said that, he would be ridiculed in return. This time he learned his lesson and decided not to argue with Bai Runyue.
Sect Master Bai was not surprised that the Ji Shang Sect could come up with these things. If it was another set of martial arts, he might have persuaded Gao Han to agree, but who knows about the Eight Divine Swords.
It’s not that they are worried that after Ji Shang Sect gets the eighth sword of the Eight Divine Swords, it will pose a threat to Zi Xiao Sect. Although the Eight Divine Swords are powerful, Zi Xiao Sect also has powerful skills that surpass the Eight Divine Swords. Besides, not everyone can practice the Eight Divine Swords.
Sect Leader Bai just remembered something he once asked his great-uncle master.
He still remembers the answer given by his great-grandmaster to Elder Yagami's Eight Divine Swords: What is the probability of successfully practicing the eighth sword?
“Although the Eight Divine Swords are powerful, they are not suitable for continuous practice.” said Master Zixiao, who was standing on the top and integrated into the world of Haoxue.
“可极上宗的八神长老修炼八神刀已近万年，他一直修炼并未出过事。”
“你仔细想想，八神长老创下八神刀的时间是在他什么阶段。”
“我记得是八神长老是在大乘期期间，才以毕生心血演练出八神刀。”白宗主恭恭敬敬地答道。
“不错，当时的八神长老已是大乘期，拥有几乎无尽的寿龄，使用八神刀对他的伤害有限，但也不是没有，只因这八神刀是以燃烧灵力的手段，方能使出。”
白宗主脸色一变，“灵力是修士的根本，只要爆发，若是燃烧，等同于在消耗修士的寿命，原来八神刀有如此大的弊端是吗？那极上宗修炼此刀法的人弟子，岂不是……”
“那倒不是，八神长老后来对八神刀进行过更改，传给极上宗弟子的八神刀，就是改过后的版本，以降低八神刀的威力为代价。”
“原来如此。”白宗主点了点头，可徒孙想问的是第八刀演练出来的机率有多大啊。
不知是知道他心中所想，还是误打误撞，紫霄上人又道：“改过的八神刀，实际应该称之为七神刀。”
白宗主心中一动。
“您的意思是，极上宗现在学的八神刀，其实没有第八刀，第七刀已经是极限？”
紫霄上人颔首，“不错，至于没改过的八神刀，八神长老也演练不出第八刀，或许说，他不能演练。”
“这又是为何？”白宗主不解地问道。
“我和天刀推演过，第八刀若果真推演出来，威力将是第七刀的几十倍，甚至百倍。”
白宗主猛吸一口冷气，八神刀第七刀的威力有多大，拿大乘期修士来说，虽然不能斩杀同阶强者，但是出其不意之下，可令其重创。
第八刀若真能叠加几十倍，甚至百倍的话，爆发的威力必定能够轻松秒杀大乘修士。
这样的刀法，何其逆天，想要将其演练出来的难度，恐怕也是百倍的难度吧。
“那八神长老最后有没有演练出第八刀？”想是这么想，白宗主还是很关心这个问题。
紫霄上人摇摇头。
在白宗主微微激动地时候，就听到一句话，“本座不知。”
白宗主：“……”
师叔祖，你不是无所不知，无所不能吗？
“如果八神演练出第八刀，他的陨落或许和第八刀有关，但那段时间，我们并没有听说妖魔哪位强者死了。”
白宗主脸色微微一变，“您的意思，一旦使出第八刀，会死？”
“八神刀以燃烧灵力为主，第八刀若能推演出来，需要燃烧的灵力是多少，会死可能不至于，但必定是以伤换伤。”
那一刻，白宗主就明白了。
以燃烧灵力，燃烧生命力为代价，换取无敌的强大，换任何一个人，可能都会选择后者，但八神长老最后到底有没有这么做，除了他自己，恐怕没有人知道。
或许还有一个，那就是拿到刀法的高寒，不过这是在他拿到八神刀，而不是七神刀的前提下。
……
“白宗主，您看如何？”蓝余见白洞天久久不说话，不免心焦的催促。
白宗主回神，认真的看着蓝余说：“蓝长老，你们就没有想过，高寒得到的八神刀，可能是七神刀吗？”
蓝余脸色霎时变了。
“什么七神刀？”郭树辉和许孟玮齐齐一愣。
“白宗主怎知此事？”蓝余沉着脸，这件事在极上宗是机密，知道的弟子并不多。
面对蓝余警惕的眼神，白宗主微微一笑，“蓝长老莫不是忘了，我无所不知，无所不能的师叔祖，想瞒过他老人家，你觉得可能吗？”
蓝余沉下脸，“这些东西，都无法让紫霄宗心动是吗？”
白宗主叹了一口气，“我以为蓝长老是个明白人。”
“事关宗门未来。”蓝余淡淡地道出自己的立场，他们如何相信紫霄宗没有说谎。
这是一个解不开的结。
紫霄宗不屑于用他们的刀法，何况是一部有缺陷的刀法，极上宗却不相信他们不动心，心里已经认定，不管他们说什么，都是在撒谎。
“看来这场谈判注定要不欢而散。”蓝余脸上不复笑容，“树辉，孟玮，我们走。”
没有过多纠缠，说完就带着郭树辉两人急匆匆离开紫霄宗，仿佛怕白宗主反悔把他们扣下。
“爹，就这样放他们走吗？他们肯定不会善罢甘休吧，背地里说不定在想什么阴谋诡计对付高师叔祖，对付紫霄宗呢。”白闰月不高兴地说道。
“师妹，极上宗所有人都知道蓝余和两名弟子来紫霄宗，要是把他们扣下，极上宗就更有理由上门挑事，岂不正中他们下怀。”元然解释道。
“你啊，还不如你二师兄聪明呢。”白宗主失望地摇摇头。
“讨厌，我去找大师兄，不跟你们玩了。”白闰月跺了跺脚，转身跑出大殿。
就在这时，外面突然响起一阵轰隆巨响。
误以为蓝余做了什么的白宗主，瞬间冲出大殿，来到主峰的广场上，一眼就看到准备离开，却呆愣在原地的蓝余，不像动手的样子。
白宗主立刻回身，终于看到发生了什么事。
几座峰的上空，不知何时突然凝聚起一大片黑色的乌云，覆盖了将近十里的范围，乌泱泱一大片，之前那一声巨响便是乌云里发出的，声势十分浩大。
峰与峰之间，因为这片巨大的乌云变得十分朦胧，不断有弟子聚集过来，谁也不知道发生了什么事，广场上吵杂一声。
“师尊，发生了什么事？哪位长老突破了吗？”元然紧跟着出来，也看到这片雷云，画面太过壮观，以至于他以为是哪位长老突破了。
“恐怕不是，突破也不可能弄出这么大的反应来。”白宗主说道。
“那是怎么回事？”说要去找大师兄的白闰月也跑过来。
广场附近的弟子不由自主的竖起耳朵，他们也想知道发生了什么事。
“是仙器出世，居然是仙器！”有人帮助白宗主回答了这个问题。
大家看过去，发现是极上宗的人，顾不得惊讶，纷纷被仙器出世四个字震惊了。
“怎么可能，紫霄宗怎么可能有仙器出世，难道是哪位前辈在祭炼仙器？”蓝余心中震撼非常，作为紫霄宗的对立，他给自己找到了理由。
“长老说的没错，肯定是别人在祭炼仙器，正好提升了仙器的等级。”郭树辉是宗主的弟子，知道仙器代表着什么。
上一件仙器出世，是在器星谷，器星谷底蕴深厚，灵天大陆百分之八十的仙器，皆是出自器星谷，所以他们敢嚣张，敢傲慢，因为他们底气很足，可紫霄宗凭什么。
紫霄宗虽然是灵天大陆最大的门派，但是修士皆以剑修为主，因为紫霄上人是剑修，所以吸收无数崇拜紫霄上人，和走剑修之路的修士投入紫霄宗。
就像极上宗，以刀修为主，所以加入极上宗的弟子，也多是走刀修之路的修士。
至于炼器，紫霄宗就一个神器峰，炼器师的人数直接在九大峰中垫底，真正有天赋的炼器师，都选择投入器星谷，留给紫霄宗的，多是歪瓜裂枣，旁人一打听，哪个炼器师还愿意去紫霄宗。
“尔等见过，仙器祭炼，能引起这么大的雷劫吗？”白宗主是什么人，好歹是化神期的强者，怎会听不到他们的话，这话就是说给他们听的。
蓝余沉默了，他心里清楚，自己的猜测不怎么靠谱，只是自欺欺人而已。
这么大的雷劫，仔细一看便知不是祭炼法宝引起的。
“三位不是要走吗，请便。”白宗主笑呵呵地赶人。
蓝余还想看看，是哪位炼器师引起的雷劫，主人开始赶人，便不好再留。
“送送蓝长老他们。”没有给他们磨蹭的机会，白宗主又对元然说。
“是，师尊。”元然走到他们面前，“蓝长老，请吧。”
知道白洞天意思的蓝余，很干脆地转身走人，步履没有刻意变慢，他需要回去将这件事禀报宗门，紫霄宗突然出现一位能够炼制仙器的炼器师，影响不是一般的大。
“谁稀罕看。”郭树辉和许孟玮铁青着脸说完，才跟上去。
他们前脚刚走，八峰峰主便先后赶到了。
“是谁，是谁，正在炼器的人是谁？”神器峰峰主到的时候，大嗓门率先传过来，一出现就火烧屁股般地冲到白宗主面前。
白宗主差点被他的口水喷到，嫌弃地退后两步，“姚峰主，你仔细看雷劫正中心的落点，反正不可能是你们的神器峰的人。”
“你这不是废话吗，要是我神器峰的人，我还用得着问你。”姚峰主瞪了他一眼。
白宗主瞥了眼四周的弟子，轻咳一声，“姚峰主，注意身份，还有，我是宗主。”
姚峰主没再理他了，仔细盯着雷劫的落点，那里居然是一片空荡荡的山林，“这不对啊。”
“Of course not. As I recall, that place was Wuming Peak, but it was hidden by a barrier.” said the master of Qinglan Peak.
When it comes to Nameless Peak, all the peak masters fell silent.
"No way." Hou Wanshan, the master of Luojian Peak, broke the silence.
Wuming Peak is the residence of Senior Tiandao, but Senior Tiandao is obviously not a weapon refiner. For so many years, he has been living alone in Wuming Peak until a few months ago when another person joined the scene, his new disciple Gao Han.
From being a man with good talent, he suddenly became a top genius who killed demons and monsters. At such a young age, he is a legend.
Now, just a few days after returning to the sect, this little legend gave them another huge surprise.
In Wuming Peak, since it was not Senior Tiandao, then it is self-evident who was the person who caused these thunder tribulations.
“Master, didn’t you say that he didn’t have any guidance from a master and that he had only been involved in refining equipment for a short time?” The master of Qinglan Peak asked speechlessly.
When they learned that Gao Han had chosen Senior Tiandao as his master and they needed to give him a gift, everyone asked him about it. I still remember that the sect leader said that they could just give some medium-quality refining materials.
Sect Leader Bai was also helpless. "He has never shown his weapon refining skills to anyone else. How can I know what level he has reached?"
"Master, you are too irresponsible." Master Yao Feng accused him.
"You are talking nonsense. Don't I take responsibility? Just ask anyone to find out whether I am responsible or not!" said Sect Master Bai calmly.
Master Yao Feng turned to Qing Lan and asked, "Is the Sect Master responsible?"
Qing Lan: "Very irresponsible to the extreme."
Sect Leader Bai: “…”
I specifically asked you to find a disciple to ask.
Master Yao Feng sneered. The disciple would not dare to tell the truth due to the authority of the sect master. He is a weapon refiner, not a fool.
"Stop making trouble. This thunder tribulation is so powerful that Uncle Gao may not be able to withstand it with his level of cultivation. Why don't we go and help him?" Hou Wanshan suggested.
Qi Yu also wanted to go and take a look. "When the thunder calamity comes, it will strike the weapon refiner as well. He will definitely not be able to withstand it. If the magic weapon is destroyed, it will be a big trouble."
"The problem is that we can't even enter Nameless Peak." Peak Master Qian stroked his beard and asked curiously, "But the barrier of Nameless Peak was set up by Senior Tiandao himself. Will these thunder tribulations prevent us from entering?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent.
